A vaccine to protect against the coronavirus will be many things wrapped up in a small vial: a harbinger of a return to normalcy, a scientific feat for the ages and, depending on when it arrives, a politically potent symbol.
Pharmaceutical giant AstraZeneca pledged to have at least 300 million doses for the USA delivered as early as October – probably even before a vaccine is approved. The USA TODAY vaccine panel is designed to offer readers an objective, nonpartisan understanding of how close we are to getting an effective vaccine distributed to the nation’s residents. We’re about a third of the way there, they said.
The challenge isn't just to create a safe and effective vaccine – more than 11 possible candidates will be in human testing this summer. But for a vaccine to end up in a pharmacy or doctor's office near you, companies will have to produce hundreds of millions of doses, then deliver them across the country and eventually the world.
In a historic and global effort, the basic science behind dozens of vaccine development efforts has mostly been finished in the six months since the virus first appeared. Many of the vaccines in the pipeline rely on new technologies whose underlying science is understood, although the actual techniques are being worked out.
Though the world clamors for a vaccine as quickly as possible, there can be no shortchanging safety for economic or political interests, said Dr. Gregory Poland, director of the Mayo Vaccine Research Group and editor-in-chief of the journal Vaccine.“The Food and Drug Administration needs to demonstrate that it will not kowtow to political pressures and will do all the due diligence, safety testing and review necessary,” Poland said.

USA TODAY poll: Americans want major police reform, more focus on serious crimeA USA TODAY/Public Agenda poll released Monday found widespread and bipartisan support for more training on de-escalation tactics and racial biases. They shouldn't be able to 'police' themselves. All investigations of the policy should be by a civilian review board, unassociated with the police. Lawsuit payments should be part of the PD budget.

USA TODAY poll: Americans want major police reform, more focus on serious crimeMost Americans believe that change must be made to law enforcement across the nation and that reforms are needed to reduce police brutality against Black Americans, the poll says. Correct. Thank you. Police reforms as required must be managed at the local level. USG can pass all the rules they want, but they are meaningless. USG always makes any situation worse b/c politicians are incompetent and corrupt. 👎😉

We're one-third of the way to a widely available coronavirus vaccine, experts sayUSA TODAY created a panel of nationally known experts to estimate how far we are from when a COVID-19 vaccine will be available to all Americans. These so called experts have no idea about when a vaccine will or will not ever be ready. Bunch of fear mongering clowns. The key phrase is “could be available “ by then. The Dems are hoping it won't be available til at least February. So is USA Today.
